Day 26 of DominoArt's Scarefest 2015

I keep a lot of things for sentimental reasons...a lot! But recently they have been coming in handy so I am excused! I used my lovely 1 of 2 jenga pieces I have left after 20 odd years..and yesterday while looking for something in the storage room, I found the pieces to a game called "Marry, Date or Dump?" a Hasbro game LOL. Never remember even buying it but it had four player main cards that were perfect small canvas size and a box with sooo many smaller playing cards for the game. So a canvas and a sentiment holder....what more could I ask for?

Proof it was a real game..the little card is already glued on the front..

I have been playing around with drawing these girls and just love doing it..this one is done with Prisma colored pencils and watercolor paints with a black marker and white sharpie. I did get this in the wrong order as Prismas do not like watercolor paper and the wax in them prevents the watercolor paints from absorbing into the paper but hey it was my first one so not complaining too badly. I gessoed up the big card and dropped food coloring onto it while it was still damp but it faded the colors out so some sprays and fluid and regular acrylics with some DecoArt interference paint dropped on to it gave me a background I could live with. Fussy cut my doll and glued her down then used 2 of Michael's dollar bin stamps (they have some very cute ones this year!) and some sentiment tags from a paper pad glued to the smaller card and she was done. Oh, just a little Diamond Accents on the eyes and lips to glam her up a bit.

That's it for me this DominoArt's Scarefest, 2015, but will look for the chance to play again next year! Thanks to our lovely hostess, the Sharpie Queen, for making it so much fun! Keep coming back to the link about until Halloween for more spooktacular altered game art!

MERRY AUGUST! And Christmas, too :) We are getting ready for that all too fast approaching holiday season and what better way when it is in the triple digits and 100% humidity than to join Rupert with a nice holiday toast to you and yours!

I have loved playing along with Sandie at Go Tag Thursday since it's beginning not so long ago and now I get the pleasure of Guest Designer for this week! Squeee with joy! I wanted to do an "Explosion of Color" (to tell the truth, Sandie made my suggestions of lots of colors sound so much nicer!) so here are my two examples!

This one was a page of nothing but Nuance Powders sprinkled nilly dilly everywhere and let run and get all scrumptious looking as they always do! The stamps are freebies from a magazine and I wanted some lovely blue birds but the Spectrum Noir markers just couldn't overcome the background colors so not so blue blue birds.

This one was the actual reason for the theme as I was working on a tag with this background paper by Holtz when Sandie asked for my theme. The little fairy declaring her love with a little put up hand is by Rubber Dance Stamps and the word "love" is from Lost Coast's Designs' word set Misc. Words Set. I fina…

It's December and at Eclectic Ellapu, our theme is what else? Jingle Bells! Oh what fun it is to create with some jingle bells! I took an old Hello Kitty tub and covered it with some kraft paper I had bought in Japan. It is thinner than the kind I have already so it worked well to cover up the kitty. I stamped it all over with a Carmen's Veranda's Stamps called "Christmas Lights" .

I used Prisma colored pencils to color my Christmas lights. I had an unopened Santa pin that looked swell on the front, some red beads hot glued to the top edge, and my jingle bells hung from a green and white twill string. For some height, I added some small Christmas ornaments to the bottom. A little red inking to all the edges and it is ready to hold some candy canes.
Come play with us this month at Eclectic Ellapu!
